Answer to Problem 1MCQ

Correct answer:

The condition in which bacteria grow and flourish in the bloodstream is referred to as septicemia. Therefore, option (c) is correct.

Option (c) is given as “septicemia”.

Explanation of Solution

Justify the reason for the correct statement:

Sepsis is also known as septicemia is a cardiovascular condition caused by many bacteria and few fungi due to their active multiplication inside the bloodstream. The prominent feature of sepsis is fever due to a large amount of endotoxin released in the blood. Thus, the patient appears ill with the altered mental state.

Hence, option (c) is correct.

Justify the reasons for the incorrect statements:

Option (a) is given as “viremia”.

It is the presence of virus in the blood. Hence, it is a wrong answer.

Option (b) is given as “bacteremia”.

It referrers to the appearance of bacteria in the blood which does not correspond to their growth. Hence, it is a wrong answer.

Option (d) is given as “fungemia”.

It is the presence of only fungi in the blood. Hence, it is a wrong answer.

Hence, options (a), (b), and (d) are incorrect.

Conclusion

When bacteria grow and flourish in the bloodstream then this condition is referred to as septicemia.

Glitazones reduce insulin resistance by binding to a transcription factor in adipocytes, thereby reducing thesecretion of fatty acids. Glitazones are taken orally (in pill form). Using pharmacokinetic modeling, deriveequations to describe how the concentration of glitazones varies in the plasma as a function of time. Yourequations should be of the form: dCglitazone /dt = something, or dMglitazone /dt = something. Your model shouldinclude three compartments: the gut, the plasma, and the fatty tissues. Make sure to include a diagram thatillustrates your thinking, state all assumptions, and define your variables. Do not solve the equations.
Case Study—Ella Review the case study and then answer Parts A through F. Ella has a family history of diabetes. She wants to follow a healthful eating pattern that can lower her risk for developing this condition. Her dietitian recommends a goal of 450 to 600 kcal per meal and advises Ella to follow the Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Range (AMDR) for carbohydrates and the Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2015-2020, which recommend limiting added sugar. She also recommends that Ella choose whole grains rather than processed grains. Ella decides to pack a lunch to take to work every day.
